Publicity and Community Education Programmes

The Government's efforts alone cannot build a sustainable society. The Sustainable Development Division (SDD) has been establishing contacts with non-government organizations, green groups, academic institutions, the private sector and leading organizations, both locally and overseas, with a view to building strong partnerships in pursuing sustainable development. In addition, the SDD has launched a full programme to promote public awareness of sustainable development. Since early 2002, we have published a booklet on sustainable development for distribution to all schools and a wide range of community organizations. We have also, in collaboration with some non-governmental organizations, brought the message of sustainability to the wider community through an international symposium, roving exhibitions and presentations at public fora.

International Symposium

SymposiumThe Sustainable Development Division (SDD) hosted an international symposium on "Sustainability and the City" together with the Hong Kong Council of Social Services and the Business Coalition on the Environment through the Canadian Chamber of Commerce in Hong Kong on 10 and 11 June 2002 at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre. The symposium brought together a number of local experts, and experts from overseas, the Mainland and Macao to share experience and discuss key sustainability issues for Hong Kong and the Pearl River Delta region. Some 450 participants from business groups, green groups, community organizations, universities, Bureaux and Departments took part in this event.

The theme of the symposium is "Sustainability and the City". The symposium focused on the promotion of sustainable development from the local, regional and global perspectives.
